Scale hasn’t moved for me in 2 days but I know I’m doing this right so it hasn’t worried me at all or discouraged me. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

You are doing great! More than a diet this has been a learning experience for you. I’m happy for you that you are so self aware. I believe you will do well because you know where you went wrong. It’s impossible to stop bad habits if we’re unaware of them. Day 6 and we going strong [emoji123] For some reason I can’t wait to get to day 7 Bc I think I’ll feel like I’m passed the F* this point [emoji28] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Wow you are doing great! Congrats! How do you feel? Do you feel lighter? I know the difference in your stamina must be from A to Z. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

My shakes have 30 grams of protein and I have to drink 5 a day. That’s a lot of protein. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

How is everyone doing? Today I’m feeling good. I do get tired a lot or maybe I’m just bored but I’m no longer miserable and that’s more than I could ask for. Also for once I felt full after drinking my shake and my water, I had to sit still and really concentrate on what I was feeling to believe it. Full? Me? How? Lol but there I was satisfied. I think as the head hunger fades or becomes more manageable this becomes more doable. If I was feeling now how I felt the 1st two days I wouldn’t be on day 6 no way, I would have surrendered to those ribs I wanted so bad and a cold beer [emoji23] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

I believe that if you are following your pre-op diet then you’ll be okay. Even if the numbers on the scale aren’t shooting down what matters is that your liver is shrinking and losing fat. I been watching fat doctor (on YouTube) and I realize how important it is for the liver to shrink and not be fatty. It literally gets in the way and has to be pushed to the side to make our stomach accessible. So if you’re following it to the T I think you’re fine. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Deff got the scale, I want to journal everything I eat and the calories and there’s just no telling unless the measurements are exact. A little bit more here or there does count and will show on the big scale and I’d like to prevent that. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Drained yes. They also have creamy chicken and protein juices. Check proti soup on amazon and i believe all their different protein options come up. Enjoy Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Which protein shake are you drinking? How many cals/carbs and how many times a day? Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Yea it’s like some self control that just came out of nowhere, like our body is like ok I know I won’t starve to death just give me the shake and I won’t give you an uncontrollable impulse to break this protein fast [emoji28] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

I know right, it’s scary how we can use food to fill boredom or voids we didn’t even know we had. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Awesome.. I bet you ain’t never been so excited for purée in your life [emoji23][emoji23] this will be me one week post op [emoji28] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

How is everyone else doing? Today was my best day so far. I really got the hang of this (knock on wood). I think I’ll be fine the next 7 days. Only thing I’ve noticed is that I find myself being bored or just with extra time and feeling very present. I guess I used to eat when I was bored and disappear to a diff dimension while doing so because now I’m like huh what did I do before [emoji23] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Wow and here I thought I was prepared lol I need gas x mild laxative and protein water. I just got my bariatric advantage multivitamin and that was a fail. Those things are soooo nasty. I need more unflavored protein too- Oh and the baby food, deff getting some meat flavors and fruits. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

A meal*** typo [emoji58] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Had a proti soup [emoji502] for lunch. I made it with very low hopes expecting a light broth consistency low salt not much flavor but was pleasantly surprised. Proti soup has 90 cals and 15 grams of protein and looked just like a Lipton chicken noodle and tastes great Incase anyone wants to try it. Weird how it has less cal and protein than my shake but the warmth made it so filling and satisfying. And all the mixing and being over the stove had me feeling like I was cooking a mean lol [emoji23] I needed that. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

That’s a good list.. I got bariatric advantage chewable multi but I’m sending it back. They are awful and taste like sweet and low. I love the vitamins that I take now V2000 by solgar but I’m not sure how soon I can swallow pills. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Guys don’t forget to get a good balancing mouth wash. I’ve read that if your mouth PH changes and it’s likely to even if temporarily that it can cause tooth decay or eat at our enamel and we don’t want that [emoji51] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

I’m scared of buying too much for my post op Bc if my tastebuds go crazy I won’t know who to give these things to. I’m going to buy very little and just try it and see if I tolerate it. Initially I wanted to stack up and have everything that way I could be prepared. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

My shakes are 160cals x 5 shakes a day = I’m literally having 800 cals a day. I’ve lost 8 so far but idk I feel that if I drink a nice cold beer or two that number on the scale will change instantly. Doesn’t feel like real weight If you know what I mean but I’ll take it. At least the doc will see the new number on the scale and know I gave it my all. When is your surgery? Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Hahaa and I’ll be right there next to you [emoji847] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Wow I’ve gotten tons of ideas from you guys. Everyone has really good stuff. I like the idea of freezing broth in ice cubes. I also need a food processor but I’m not quite sure about eating mushy meat so I’ll wait on that [emoji28] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Guys I’m on day 5 and I can’t believe it. Yesterday was good and the day is just starting for me and I feel good too. I’m so glad that wild burning hunger is gone! I’m not expecting the remainder of the days to be like this but I’m enjoying not feeling so blah while it lasts. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

You are so lucky! Most of us have to do straight protein shakes [emoji25] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

I feel cheated.. all I got was a few papers stapled briefly covering preparing for surgery the stages and nutrition/vitamins. Duped Yo-Yo Girl from New York City
